Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I would go with the Asus, it would be more reliable. I thought that the 7800GTX can't fit in the MSI Neo4/SLi and Neo4 Plat/SLi? Correct me if I'm wrong.
http://www.sidewindercomputers.com has some good prices. I havn't tried them yet, but http://www.resellerratings.com gave them a good review. I also second crazypc, they have excellent service.
Sorry to hear about your Vid Card tsuehpsyde. I respect what you did, I would of done samething :). Good Luck getting a new video card. Maybe try some different Thermal Compound than AS5 on the memory?
Yeah, mostly Bottlenecking is not letting your hardware go to its full potential. With the 7800 it is hard not to bottleneck it, but you should be fine. I bottleneck my 6800 and I still get excellent performance. If you overclock you will get a lot more performance out of it. Glad the link...

And your Systems looks good. The only problem would be that the CPU would...
How about you get a 7800GTX for the first slot, then you get a ATI X850XT PE for the second. No one will never call you a Fan boy again. :D
Wasn't THG.com who did that? I know I read somewhere when they mixed the cards together (6800 & X800) and they got it to work. There was just a lot...
I did, and I will never buy one again. This mobo has just gave me trouble since I got it. I can't wait until I get my new computer. I so want to burn this motherboard to hell . :D
Yeah, I got the processor to work. Just took a while, I was just lucky to get it working with all those bent pins. I can't believe none of them broke off.
I did that once, I ripped out the cord from PSU. Yesterday I was taking off my XP-90 and I unhooked the back, then when I went to unhook the front I accidently let go on the back (I wasn't thinking) and it sprung forward. Well... when it did that, it took the CPU w/ it. When I pulled it out...
